Struggle in the Steam Age

The riot that broke out in the capital Wendobona didn't last long. It took six or seven hours from the time the Janissaries began to attack the palace and various key points in the room after the rebellion to when the second prince committed suicide after his stubborn failure. But the follow-up processing took two full days.

Because after the rebellion ended, there were about 100,000 rebels, thugs, and all kinds of restless people who took to the streets to participate in the riots. It is not an easy task to eliminate them in such a large city.

Immediately after the rebellion ended, however, this motley crew took on the qualities that characterize a mob: scattered throughout the city like pepperoni, doing evil and letting themselves go. They have no discipline, let alone solidarity. Even the thugs will break out large and small internal fires for various reasons.

In the face of such a mob, the military seems to handle it with ease. After all, the goblins who killed their commanders are not much different from these chaotic thugs.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, these thugs ran around in panic. Then he was easily driven to several deserted places by the army and the manpower sent by a superhuman. There isn't even a need to keep watch over the cleared blocks. Because the thugs will only flee in the direction left by the military in this group chaos.

Only a few guys escaped either because they were cunning enough or because they were lucky. Others were driven to several preset positions to be killed or captured.

One day and one night after the army entered the city, the various armies that entered the city to quell the riots quickly swept away the rioters who were doing evil around the streets. Among them, those who were seriously injured and who were identified on the spot as having committed various serious crimes would be executed in accordance with the military law enforced during the curfew. While others were tied into a string, and the priests of several churches directly performed divine magic appraisal camps.

Those who were identified as obviously evil guys were all pulled to the side of the street wall, and then the military police stood in rows and groups to execute the military law and shot them dead.

Of course, it's not that this group of people didn't try to resist, especially since there are some extraordinary people among them. But their resistance did not play any role in the face of the large-scale military superhumans and the steam mobile armor specially used to deal with hostile superhumans, and they were all killed on the spot.

Finally, on the second morning after the rebellion broke out, the army and various extraordinary organizations annihilated the last mob in the square of the factory area, which meant that the apparent issues of the rebellion had been completely resolved.

Of course, that doesn't spell the end of everything about the rebellion. It can even be said that this is just the beginning of a series of events. For example, those dead soldiers who resisted to the end certainly did not suddenly emerge from the ground. Then these guys who participated in the rebellion must be liquidated.

In addition, the curse magic that can directly curse the royal family members with the blood of the second prince also needs to be investigated. After all, the threat posed by the evil forces behind the scenes represented by this thing is too serious.

Finally, because the reform of the empire has reached a stalemate due to the opposition of the nobles, and there are many nobles behind the second prince's rebellion. Joseph I, who had ruled the country for decades, made illustrious military exploits and promoted the reform of the entire country, would naturally not miss this opportunity to further promote reforms.

Therefore, even studying magic in the dormitory of the referee. Lawrence could hear all kinds of news about which nobleman had recently been arrested, which nobleman had been ordered to surrender part of his lands, and whoever had started a rebellion somewhere and had successfully suppressed it.

After all, there are now many members of the Tribunal who are organizing those citizens to clean up the battlefield and rebuild their homes. Therefore, we can get in touch with a lot of outside information. People in the capital prefer to discuss these major national events. Not to mention that the group of ordinary people organized by the referee were all people who lived around the referee before.

In the previous turmoil, because of the referee's reminder, these people entered the referee with their money and money to hide in advance, so the losses in this turmoil were not heavy. Therefore, they are naturally in the mood to gossip when they are rebuilding their homes.

And the relationship between people in this ancient capital is very complicated, so even these ordinary people can obtain a lot of information related to various things that have happened in the city recently through their respective relationships. And the referee staff who were with them naturally brought back the news.

"Today, another earl was excommunicated, because he not only sent dead soldiers to participate in the rebellion, but also tried to rebel in his own territory. The local garrison successfully suppressed it only three hours after announcing the rebellion." The person who had breakfast that day At that time, Nora held up a newspaper that could be used as a quilt cover for herself and read.

"This seems to be the sixth earl of the fief." A magistrate next to him said after drinking the milk in the glass, "Our Majesty is indeed courageous enough, and this time the group of rebels It also gave him enough excuses to clean up the group of guys who do nothing but make money."

The reason why the magistrate was so aggressive was because his house was set up as a machine gun position by the rebels. Then the house that Lawrence directly blasted open with a grenade.

But as a reasonable person, he didn't blame Lawrence for shooting with a grenade. He even thought that his grenade saved the lives of several brothers, and he did a very good job. But correspondingly, he completely blamed the destruction of his home on the rebellion caused by the second prince and the group of nobles.

That's why the magistrate was so excited after hearing that the rebels had been punished, and even began to scold directly. And this also resonated with many judges. A few minutes later, the restaurant immediately discussed the issue.

"Okay, okay, let's eat in peace, everyone. There is still work to do in the morning." Three minutes later, Captain Yagoda walked into the restaurant and said, then sat down next to Lawrence and handed an envelope come over. "I came here this time to deliver a letter to you."

"My letter?" Lawrence took the envelope handed over with a confused look on his face. Because of the martial law in the past few days, the capital's external communication is under strict control. Before, he even wanted to send a letter to his father or send a letter. The telegrams were unsuccessful, and in the end, I had to rub the referee's transmitter and simply sent a very brief letter to the house to report that it was safe. So it seemed very strange to have a letter to myself at this time.

"That's right." Yagoda nodded and added, "And this is a very important letter, because this letter was sent from the palace."

A letter from the palace? Why are you not busy dealing with the current situation and sending a letter to a small person like me? Lawrence, with a dazed expression, opened the envelope and found a piece of parchment inside.

The parchment was folded into an envelope, and it smelled of some kind of perfume. And most importantly, the edge of this parchment is hot-stamped with the image of the imperial double-headed eagle in gold.

After opening the parchment, a string of elegant characters came into the eyes, and if you look closely, you can find that the handwriting shone like gems. After checking, Lawrence found that the ink used to write these words had been mixed with dragon's blood.

It's a luxury - can't it be cashed out for me? Lawrence complained in his heart that dragon blood, as a very important raw material in alchemy, is expensive. In many cases, spellcasters can only use the blood of the sub-dragon beast as a substitute for dragon blood. A letter like the one in Lawrence's hand costs between 55 and 60 yuan.

After complaining, he lowered his head and began to read the specific content of the letter. Soon, he finished reading the contents of the letter.
